Businesses That Can thrive In Nigeria Despite The Bad Economy by dauntless15(m): 9:29pm On May 30, 2016
i have always despised working in an office under a boss, reading a book called rich dad, poor dad increased my hatred for working under a boss, in a country like Nigeria theres no job security and if you look at it critically, you are actually working yourself up for your boss and the govt. and you'll have no time for yourself at all. i want to be my own boss and I'm sure i will realize that some days, with the right facilities readily available, heres some businesses that i will venture into and it will survive in Nigeria.

1. livestock farming: theres alot of gains in livestock farming if you know your way around it, am talking of getting a big space(land), and start little, maybe poultry, I'll buy all the breeds, in places with alot of hotels like lagos, portharcourt etc, i will rear broilers and advertise it to major hotels so I'll be supplying them meat, if theres capital I'll add a cold room to process the meat, and during festive periods demand will skyrocket, layers for thier eggs and there's also market for eggs, with time I'll venture into grasscutter farming and fishery, very easy to set up, and you supply bars and as you grow your customer base, you might end up buying a delivery van and it will be a smooth sail from then on.

2. importation of fairly used goods: my dad's friend does this, he brings alot of stuffs and you must have something to buy whenever you visit his exhibition, his imported goods ranges from laptops, phones, bicycles, home theaters, tvs, electrical appliances, household items, office chairs, washing machines, lawn movers, hover boards, even miniature bikes, mountain bikes and the good thing is crowds gather to wait for him whenever they hear he's two hours away, now he brings five or more cars in a truck each time he travels.

3. fashion boutique coupled with fashion designing: be a fashion designer and create unique styles which will make you stand out and you can also display fashion wears in your boutique to advertise your handwork

4. blogging: you just need internet access, a computer and a brain to start this, and choose a niche you know something about and you're good at.

5. hotel and catering services: this is self explanatory, but you need huge capital to start, you can start with a small setup more like a drive through or dinner, and choose a catchy name that stands out not common names like mama nkechi lip licking joint, be neat and create a nice environment, hire friendly workers to leave a remarkable experience on the minds of your customer so they'll come back for more

6. beer parlour: if you arent humble, hardworking with thick skin you cant pull this off because irresponsible people come to beer parlours and their behavior might annoy you so if you have what it takes go for it

7. delivery services: you can partner with major shopping outfits to be thier professional delivery service, outfits like konga, jumia etc.

8. dry cleaning service: dry cleaning is a profit making venture if you choose the right place to open it, i can only think of abuja

there are more of thise businesses but this is all i can think of

Me, the IDOL WORSHIPPER?

I wondered why I was in the queue of accused at all
I am intelligent, aggressive, young, Totally committed to my God.
What am I doing here ?with this sheet of supposed sins in my hand I wondered
I don’t drink, I don't smoke, I don’t fornicate, I don’t steal, I am righteous. Others should be here not me.

It was finally my turn to face the Man.
I placed my sheet before Him, He glanced at it and sighed softly.
He looked at me and calmly said,
‘Guilty of idol worship'
Imagine my anger, my fury, My indignation, I jumped out of the chair and said ‘Of course not! Check the sheet again, check the name, It can't be mine’
He sighed again and mentioned one of my names that no one knows
I would not be stopped. It's impossible’ I yelled. I worship only God, the Most High, Maker of heaven and earth, The king of kings and Lord of Lords.
I bow down to none, I have no talisman, no amulet, No pot underneath my bed.
‘You are guilty of idol worship’ He repeated calmly
He looked at me
I looked at Him
It seemed like forever. The room was silent.
I could hear the clock ticking

Then slowly I understood

I am never late for my British Airway flights but I am always late to church
-I blinked -
My payments to unfaithful PHCN and water board are never late but I haven’t paid my tithes in three months
-I looked down-,

When meeting one of our local chiefs last week I would not even pick a call in the presence of earthly royalty, but I WhatsApp in church
-I swallowed-.

I wouldn’t interrupt my performance appraisal with my boss for anything but I missed church last week because of a film on TV
-I squirmed uncomfortably-

I wouldn’t let a day end without talking to my spouse but today I just said Hi God, Bye God
And I didn’t even pray last night
-The room began to feel hot-

I would never miss going to the bank because of the weather but I missed fellowship of Wednesday because it looked really cloudy.
-It seems the AC in the room wasn’t working-

I would wear my party colors to party meetings and not care what anyone thought of me but I hate to talk to my workmates about God because of what they will think of me.
-Someone should fix this AC or put it on 0 because 10 was too hot for me-

I always have the latest tech toy you can think of but my bible is so worn I cant even find Jude anymore
-I wished the Man would get a call and leave but He doesn’t allow anything to interrupt when He is with His children.-

I felt so hot in the room, a nervous sweat on my forehead, I felt so ill and weak, all of my anger and self righteousness was gone, leaving immense guilt in its wake.
I slowly got of the chair and knelt by His feet and said
‘I am sorry, I am guilty as charged, Guilty of idol worship, guilty of placing others; humans, toys; before You. I am guilty of idol worship’

He smiled gently, looked at me with those passionate eyes of His full of love and He gave me a fresh sheet!
Good morning! Don't even try to say, it can't be me. Can we for once be True and change our ways?

Marketing!!!

Since work no dey again, I don shift to marketing business. Now, I employ faithful secondary school drop outs as my delivery agents which qualifies me as employer of labour.

I also make my cool cash from doing what 99.9% of what everybody hates. Anyway, that gives room for less competition

Nice but that depends on your pocket though. As a beginner, you can leave out the dryer and get it later.


Washing machine is the most important here. You spin the clothes and air dry in like 30 minutes - 1 hour, then iron. That's all.
